“Every American should be outraged at the federal government’s blatant disregard for the Fourth Amendment,” said C4L Vice President of Programs, Matt Hawes about this fight. “This type of sweeping surveillance would have been better suited to 20th century dictatorships than what is supposed to be a Republic based on individual liberty.”

“Since our founding in 2008, Campaign for Liberty has led the grassroots fight to repeal the so-called 'Patriot' Act and roll back other deeply disturbing government intrusions into our lives,” Hawes continued. “Such revelations only further deepen our determination to restore the Constitution and protect the privacy rights of all Americans.”

Campaign for Liberty is currently pursuing all options, including litigation, to ensure Americans’ right to privacy.
